I just replaced my Epox motherboard and my little brother's mobo has a few caps ready to burst. I think we'll be seeing the effects of that for a while.
Yep, giving MS Access to a non db-designer is like giving nail guns to little kids. Sure they can build a tree house quickly, but how long before little Johnny comes running into the house screaming with a 2" nail in his head
Yes, I gathered that was the idea, but there's little chance the existing base of Access users will migrate.
The more savvy users will probably migrate to something like a web fronted (php, java, or whatever) mysql database.
I really would like to see OO succeed. Lately, I'm finding myself writing more and more tools to fill in the MS Office gaps. Integrating Java and MS Office has always been a pain in the duff.
The Access clone doesn't appear to open access mdb files. Hats off to OO for making the clone, but it's useless to companies that already have bunch of access stuff already.
I'm in the process of rewriting an Access DB that grew out of control for a few years. Remodeling the database has been a nightmare. The new app will use MySQL or Oracle instead using all SQL92 syntax. We're using a java web MVC framework for the interface.
Yes, you are correct. With business more concerned about quarterly results than long term goals, America is slowly destroying itself like it did in the '80s. Will we have a decade following this one where the economy makes another paradigm shift? Like hoe it went from manufacturing to information (or did it really?).
I've recently moved from Atlanta, GA to New York. Back in Atlanta, it wasn't uncommon to have an office with a few Indian developers, but they were a very small minority.
The small consulting company I work at now is owned by a British ex-pat and the office is about 75% foreign born. Working with a diverse crowd is a great learning experience. Not only are you exposed to interesting cultures, but also some different ways of doing things. Plus, I've recently been to some of the best Indian restaurants I would have never found on my own.
For those rednecks out there that act like idiots to our guests, you are rude and stupid. We are a nation of immigrants. My great grandfathers came from Spain and Croatia in the 19th century. They had a dream of making a better life for my family and succeeded. The diversity of our nation fuels innovation. Compare the motivation of most immigrants to many 3rd, 4th, or more generation Americans, they are excited to have an opportunity... I find it inspirational. Fact of the matter is, America needs to remain competitive.
Don't blame someone else for your own lazy self. The world has changed, go change with it.
